ARCHIVE - *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION *** - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION

[Confuzz]

Might try and grab a cheap cheap older card to game on till the 3080 shenanigans sorts itself out

You could off got a 2080ti quite cheap last week but wouldn't be surprised if they are selling for a bit more again now.

 

[Greebo]

Fake bids though

No I am ignoring the fake bot bids and were just looking at Buy it Nows.

Cheapest AIb board I can find is one of the cheap nasty ones for £1200. Some people are obviously quite happy to sell the card they were lucky enough to buy and then just wait to buy one later and they will have one for free.

World has gone mad.

Crazy if folk are actually paying that! I'd rather buy a 2080TI for <£500 and wait a couple months

Im desperate for a card but I refuse to believe anyone is that desperate

VideoCardz has posted that there is a few other 30 series coming.
Might be worth a look and maybe hold out if you missed this run.

Even the power connectors have moved to the end of the board. And the caps differ to reference. Also Alphacool have said Gigabyte (with others) aren't reference. You will need a custom waterblock.

Anyone else order status changes from “ new order awaiting payment”

To “ order received not yet shipped”, but has not had a confirmation email still?

Alphacool's website says "coming soon" though, at least for the Gaming OC

yup. At this point I'm going to pay more on my phone bill than I did for the card given I've been calling all day but no one picked up. Still trying to get a shipment ETA as it said it was going to ship today when I placed the order.

Mine changed to 'Order Received - not yet shipped' this morning and I have had no email at all since 15:00 yesterday..


Also, I know OCUK are frowned upon for price changes, but in the grand scheme, I think they are not as bad as some, but still a little bit guilty:

This sums things up:

So wait for the new cards only to get shafted with a paper launch like yesterday?

 

[steverebo]

Should be ashamed really, I hate companies taking advantage of consumers

Most likely, but its an option at least.

 

[Just-Dave]

Wonder how many were sold,
I just tried to get a ps5 for one of my kids, had a email for a link to a que for another retailer, i was 15500 in the que, got to 9000 and they sold out lol,
Wonder what the backlog here at OC is currently.

Just watched a video from gamers nexus and actually the stock at this launch was higher than the 20 series but demand was highest on record

Thus basically proving the "exchange rate" line is a load of old bs.
